I am working on it as a pet project though as a first timmer working in the
kernel, I would not expect this to bear fruit.  If you are looking for
useful source, I would suggest looking at the MkLinux sources for their
MACE driver, and at the chip specs from AMD (I think I cant remember if I
got them from AMD or National)  Should anyone be interested in either of
these sets of information, you can email me and I can arange provide for
their distribution in a manner consistent with generated interest.
